Finally, the special Industry Personality Award is designed to recognise an individual that plays a significant part in the success of the instrumentation sector.

The 2023 winner of the award was Amina Hamidi, PhD, from ABB Measurement & Analytics. Through her work, Hamidi has taken ABB’s instrumentation business closer to customers while building an inclusive, innovation-driven work environment.
Commenting on receiving the Industry Personality Award, Hamidi said: “With sustainability and innovation at the core of what we do in ABB, I often ask myself what is best for our business and people. Are we running our business in a way that is right for our people, the environment, our customers, the industry and ultimately, the wider society? Reflecting on this helps me make better informed decisions. I thank the team at the Instrumentation Excellence Awards for this recognition, and I am most grateful to my talented colleagues for all their hard work and dedication that helps us make a difference to the industries we serve – and the world around us.”
